Humanity has opened gates of hell says UN Secretary General at climate summit - BBC News

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has told world leaders that humanity's addiction to fossil fuels had "opened the gates of hell", as he kicked off a climate meeting in New York.

The summit is intended to build momentum on climate action before the COP28 annual U.N. climate talks in Dubai, starting in late November.

China, India and the US were among the countries who did not attend.
